Not just against that boss; the Charge Beam would have come in helpful on many an occasion. (As would the Spazer that we were all basically screaming at you to go back and get from time to time; I imagine the wider shots would have proven quite helpful to you early on, as well as the added damage.)
For example (this is hardly a spoiler since you now have the Screw Attack), if you do a spin-jump with a fully-charged shot ready, Samus basically goes into pseudo-Screw Attack mode (I believe the technical term is "Charge Attack" ) and can tear apart most minor enemies that she would run into.
(Of course, you'd have learned to hate the Charge Attack pretty quickly since it screws up a Wall Jump.)
Well, if nothing else, it might be interesting to see the results of a second playthrough and see just how much actually knowing some stuff about the game improves you from your cold start.
...OH. It might be a while before this becomes pertinent, but...when you finish the game? Be sure to watch the credits all the way through.
